Orcball, Nice Marines, and Angels - oh my!
We've got TWO FREE GAMES in here, because we're nice like that
JUNE EMAIL
That's one thing you can definitely say about this email: it's arriving in June. We've got a bunch of stuff for you, so strap in:
SANCTUM
SANCTUM is the latest sourcebook for Heart: the City Beneath. Inside, you'll find guidance and rules on building and destroying settlements in the Heart - and also rules for four new kinds of Angel, terrifying messengers and agents of the strange intelligence that controls the place. Pick it up here.
NICE MARINES
You're a Space Marine - legally distinct from any other Space Marines you might have heard of before - and, as an immortal instrument of war, combat holds no challenge for you. However: instead of combat, you have to bring a peaceful conclusion to a diplomatic situation through correct application of lifting things, being nice, holding parades, and other things that civilians might like. Download it for free here.
BLACK LIVES MATTER
We stand with the protesters around the world speaking out against police brutality and unjust treatment of black people. (For further information on how we feel on this matter, please refer to Spire.) To show our solidarity we've donating 50% of the profits from sales of Shadow Operations to charities that tackle racism and racist policing in the UK, backdated to when it first went on sale, forever. You can pick up this compendium of scenarios for the Spire RPG here.
ORCBALL
A one-page game about trying to win the international ORCBALL championship despite a) the blatant cheating of the other team and b) the fact that all the refs are out of their gourds on shrooms and yelling at the moon in an attempt to learn more, better rules. Download it for free here.
DOORS TO ELSEWHERE OUT MONDAY
Our first scenario (of sorts) for the Heart RPG, Doors to Elsewhere, is coming out on Monday. As with our other Heart products, we'll offer a discount on the physical copy equal to the cost of the PDF once it goes on sale. Here's some info on what Doors is:
"THE CITY LIVES. THE CITY SPEAKS IN DOORS AND PATHWAYS.
THE CITY IS DYING.
As dozens of doors to a strange land between dimensions begin to open throughout the Heart, the delvers step through to find the city of Elsewhere in turmoil. The lights which keep them safe are going out one by one. An ocean of vicious darkness roils at the edge of Elsewhere and seeps through to the City Beneath.
Will the delvers save this nexus of worlds?"
HEART SHIPPING SOON
OH SO SOON. You have until July 10 to update your address in Backerkit if you're moving, or something, so make sure your address is correct before then. If you need some help, drop an email to admin@rowanrookanddecard.com and we'll sort you out.
That's all for now. Stay safe out there.
